The bye week helped the Broncos get closer to full strength.

Among the players expected to return to practice today are cornerback Perrish Cox, who missed one game with a concussion; special teams captain Wesley Woodyard, who has missed several games with a strained hamstring; defensive end Kevin Vickerson, who had been bothered by a groin injury; and backup safety Darcel McBath, who has been out since wretching his ankle early in Game 6 at Baltimore.

Cox’s return is especially important because veteran right cornerback Andre’ Goodman has not been unable to shake off his pulled quad. Goodman, whose leg injury wouldn’t allow him to keep up with Michael Crabtree late in the Broncos’ 24-16 loss to San Francisco in London, and outside linebacker Robert Ayers, who needs another two weeks to recover from his broken foot, are the only players not expected to practice today.
